Unfortunately, we’re looking at another weak week of home video releases, so we’re only able to bring you a small handful of notable releases. As usual, we’ve got the brand new films out, a couple of which were hardly earthshattering material. But then we’ve also got a couple of gritty British crime thrillers that might satisfy, and to round out the bunch, we’ve got a horror cult classic on Blu-Ray for the first time. So take a look at what we’ve filtered out of all the garbage and hope with us for a brighter future on home video!
If Harry Shearer isn’t a household name, he really should be. The well-rounded entertainer has focused his talents on film, on radio, in music, and on television, among others. Among his many credits are roles in This is Spinal Tap, Saturday Night Live, and The Simpsons, for which he voices such popular characters as Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, and Principal Skinner. This evening (Monday, August 30th), Shearer’s latest directorial project, The Big Uneasy, a documentary about the truth behind the New Orleans catastrophe during Hurricane Katrina, engages a special one-night screening in theaters across the country on the five-year anniversary of the tragedy.
